5 beautiful stars. This book was magic. I resonated so much with Lucy, Christopher, and the other contestants who used books to escape into a new world as a kid. Books have always been my second home and a way to leave the current reality & distract me from things happening in the real world. This book and the descriptions were beautifully written, and I felt like I was transported into Lucy's life in California and on Clock Island. 

I experienced a ton of emotions while reading this and cried both happy and sad tears near the end. Absolutely loved this book!
